*     This file controls the default settings of DMapEdit and will be used if
*it is located in either the current directory, or the same directory as the
*dmapedit.exe file.  If both are present, it will use the one in the current
*directory, so it is possible to have different setups in various different
*directories.  Please note that settings in this file will override previous
*editing state settings, if you've told DMapEdit to load them at startup.

*     All comment lines must start with a '*'.  A comment may begin partway
*into a line too, however.  Basically, a comment starts at the first '*' in
*a line and ends at the end of that line.  Blank lines and comments are not
*processed by DMapEdit.

*     Listed below are descriptions of all the different variables that can
*be set, along with the valid settings, if checked for accuracy. The basic
*format of all parameters look like this:

*                           variable=setting

* Spaces and tabs are ignored when processing.

*     You may list parameters in any order whatsoever you wish.  DMapEdit
*doesn't care what order they are in.  Keep in mind that the file is
*processed from top to bottom, however, so later lines can cause earlier
*lines to be ignored.

*     Any setting that you don't define in an INI file will use the default
*settings defined in dmapedit.exe.

*---------------------------- Variable listings ------------------------------

*     You can set the path to Doom, Doom II and Heretic's IWAD's to point to
*either the directory of doom.wad (or doom2.wad), or point to the doom.wad
*(or doom2.wad) itself.  Note that you can use '/' or '\' in all path
*statements.  They will all be converted to work properly.

*     If you don't have one of these games, simply comment out the line of
*what you don't have by placing a '*' in front that line.

doom path = c:\games\doom
doom 2 path = c:\games\doom2
heretic path = c:\games\heretic

*VIDEO MODE is the video mode number, which can be 0 - 4.  Mode 0, however,
*is not supported by DMapEdit, as it is simply too low a resolution.  The
*modes are as follows:

*      0 - 320 x 200 (Can't use with DMapEdit, though.  Too low resolution)
*      1 - 640 x 400
*      2 - 640 x 480 (recommended, and default)
*      3 - 800 x 600 (alternate recommended mode)
*      4 -1024 x 768

video mode = 2

*DMapEdit makes a backup of any PWAD you try to save over.  If you set backup
*to no, DMapEdit will delete this backup after it has successfully saved the
*new PWAD.  This can help save some disk space if you have a lot of pwads
*around.  Otherwise, it's recommended to set backup to yes.  If an attempt to
*save a PWAD fails, your old PWAD can be found as the same name with the
*extension '.bak'.  It is highly recommended that you make backups of
*important work from time to time, especially when you accomplish something
*significant that you'd rather not have to redo, should you lose the file.
*Usually saving a copy of the file to another hard drive partition or a floppy
*works well for me.

backup = yes

*SKIP INTRO bypasses the intro screen. (Not recommended if you don't have a
*registered version of DMapEdit. :)

*skip intro = yes

*LEFT MOUSE BUTTON, MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON, and RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON define the
*function of each of the mouse buttons at startup.  Valid settings are add,
*delete, edit, or mark.  The default settings are:

*              left mouse button = add
*            middle mouse button = edit
*             right mouse button = delete

left mouse button = add
middle mouse button = edit
right mouse button = mark

*DRAW WALL TEXTURES is for anyone who is still experiencing the texture
*picklist drawing bug.  Though I believe I have solved this bug, if it
*happens to occur on your machine still, you can disable the drawing,
*allowing to you still use DMapEdit until it gets fixed.  The trade-off is
*that you won't get to see what the textures will look like.

draw wall textures = yes

*FLASH MODE allows you to use either the old v2.1- method of hilighting, or
*the new pulsating green method of hilighting.  Valid settings are old and
*new.

flash mode = new

*BRIGHTEN COLORS controls how much colors are brightened when displaying
*Doom textures (wall or floor/ceiling).  The reason for this is that Doom
*colors are normally too dark to see well (in my opinion anyway).  If they
*still seem to dark, raise this value some.

brighten doom colors = 10

*PWAD DIRECTORY PATH, if present (or not commented out) is the default
*location to look for PWADs.  This means when you start DMapEdit up and select
*load file from the menu, it will display files from this directory, instead
*of whatever directory you were in when you ran DMapEdit.

pwad directory path = c:\dme

*CURRENT MAP SLOT is the map slot loaded and displayed at startup.  Basically,
*it is the active map slot, and was the slot active when you left DMapEdit
*during the last editing session (assuming you have it set to save the editor
*state upon exit).  Valid values are 0-9.  0 would be the clipboard, which
*will be empty at startup.

current map slot = 1

*SAVE EDITING STATE indicates if the INI file should be updated when you exit
*from DMapEdit or not (so the editing state can be restored when you run it
*next time).

save editing state = yes

*FORCED DOOM/DOOM 2/HERETIC/HEXEN CCT, if present, indicates a Color
*Convertion Table (CCT) file to be used instead of the 'on-the-fly' color
*convertion table generator.  Basically, the older versions of DMapEdit used
*this, using the file 'coltable.dme'.  If you liked that better than the
*auto colors DMapEdit generates when displaying wall textures, you can
*uncomment the following line.

* forced doom cct = c:\dmapedit\coltable.dme
* forced doom 2 cct = c:\dmapedit\coltable.dme

*The following variables indicate the preference menu state of the named
*items.

divide heights by 8 = yes
floating bluebox = yes
grid size follows roundoff = yes
zoom on mouse position = no
auto merge = yes
xor boxmarking = yes
bluebox hidden = no

*--------------------------------- Groups ------------------------------------

*     Groups (or blocks) are identified by the '{' and '}' symbols, which
*surround the group variables.  It is also recommended that group variables
*be indented, to help people reading this file identify them more easily.
*Variables not within groups (such as all of the variables that have been
*listed thus far in the file) are called global variables.

*Some of the group variables can also be used as global variables, in which
*case they represent the default values to be use for new groups that are
*created by the editor.  Otherwise, when used locally in a group, it will only
*affect the current group.  Those variables that can be used globally are
*indicated with a (G) in their description.

*The groups are normally automatically generated by DMapEdit, and record the
*state of the editor when you exit, so that it can be restored when you run
*DMapEdit the next time.  It is recorded here, however, to allow you to edit
*the editing state if you wish.  Unless you have a good reason for doing so,
*however, there really is no reason to change any of it.

*     At present, there are only 2 types of groups: Map slots and map data.
*An example of each follows.  Because they are examples, they are commented
*out.  DMapEdit will, in the course of events, add and remove entire groups
*when it saves the state, so it reflects the current slot/map usage.  Thus,
*instead of commenting an actual slot and map group, which DMapEdit might
*end up removing later, examples are shown, commented out.  DMapEdit leaves
*all comments intact.

*Map Slot groups: The variable name will be 'map slot X', where X is a number
*from 1 to 9, identifying the slot it represents.

*map slot 1 = {

*LINK INDEX is the map data group which this map slot information goes with.
*Since more than one slot may act as a 'window' into the same map, more than
*one map slot may be linked to the same map data group.  Changing the map
*itself from any one of these map slots actually changes the map data group
*they are linked to (like lets say you add a line).  Since all the other
*map slots are linked to that map data group, they will all see the changes
*this one map slot made.  LINK INDEX should either be the same number as the
*map slot number, or the number of another map data group, as long as that
*map data group has another slot pointing to it as well, and one of them is
*is the same as the number you use.

*   link index = 1

*X OFFSET and Y OFFSET map coordinates of the (0, 0) screen coordinates.

*   x offset = 384
*   y offset = 864

*EDIT MODE selects the initial edit mode to start in. You can set this to
*either things, vertexes, lines, sectors, rectangle, or sidedefs.  The default
*is things. (G)

*   edit mode = Lines

*ZOOM sets the initial zoom factor. This can be any value from 0 to 14. The
*default is 8. (G)

*   zoom = 8

*CROSSHAIR controls the visibility of the crosshair, 'on' or 'off'. (G)

*   crosshair = on

*GRID can either be 'on' or 'off', and controls whether or not the grid is
*being displayed. (G)

*   grid = off

*GRID BRIGHTNESS sets the intensity value of the grid. It must be a value in
*the range of 1 to 3. (G)

*   grid brightness = 1

*GRID SIZE is the translated size of the grid. (G)

*   grid size = 2

*ROUNDOFF SIZE is the translated size of the roundoff value.  Please note
*that ROUNDOFF SIZE should be setup before ROUNDOFF is specified, as this
*value is used internally by ROUNDOFF, and if it isn't set yet, will have
*a screwly value, and results can be unpredictable.  When DMapEdit generates
*a map group, it insures things are in the right order. (G)

*   roundoff size = 2

*ROUNDOFF specifies if roundoff is currently on or off. (G)

*   roundoff = on

*THING SIZE is a number used to indicate the size (or state) of thing
*display.  Valid values are -1, 0, 1, or 2. (G)

*   thing size = 0

*POINT SIZE LOCKED indicates the named preference menu state. (G)

*   point size locked = no

*POINT SIZE is the size vertexes are to be drawn as. (G)

*   point size = 1

*SIDE KNOBS controls whether a knob is drawn for the right sidedefs of lines
*or not. (G)

*   side knobs = off

*SIDE KNOB SIZE controls the length of the knobs. (G)

*   side knob size = 32

*LINE MATCHING will make all new lines created attempt to take on the
*characteristics of the neighboring line (connected to line). (G)

*   line matching = on

*LINE COLORING SCHEME is the scheme used to color lines with to indicate
*the characteristics of the lines. (G)

*   line coloring scheme = 0

*THING FLAGS MASK is the test bit mask that is ORed with flags of all Things
*to determine if they should be displayed or not (Filter). (G)

*   thing flags mask = 7

*THING FLAGS MASK 2 is the 'must match' mask.  Bits that are set must match
*up the same in THING FLAGS MASK as in the Things to be displayed (either
*both bits cleared, or both set). (G)

*   thing flags mask 2 = 7

*The following designates the end of the group.

*}

*Map Data groups: The variable name will be 'map X data', where X is a number
*from 1 to 9, identifying the map data structure it represents.

*map 1 data = {

*MAP TYPE identifies what type of map it is, or put another way, which IWAD
*the map modifies.  Valid values are 'Doom' or 'Doom 2'.

*   map type = Doom 2

*EPISODE gives the episode # to load at startup.  The default is 1.

*   episode = 1

*MISSION gives the mission # to load at startup.  The default is 1.

*   mission = 1

*MAP gives the Doom II map # to load at startup.  The default is 1.  Note
*that the EPISODE/MISSION variables and the MAP variable are mutually
*exclusive.  Using one will cause the other to be ignored.  If neither
*one is set, EPISODE/MISSION is used by default.  Which one is used also
*controls which IWAD to use at startup.  If one of the two Dooms can't
*be found, it is locked out.  Thus, is you set map=7, but Doom II can't
*be found, E1M1 will be forced.  Valid settings are 1 thru 32.

*   map = 1

*MAP SOURCE indicates where this map comes from, or it's source.  This can
*be 'iwad', which means it's a map from the IWAD file, 'pwad', which means
*it's from a PWAD file, or 'none', in which case it has no source, and is a
*blank map.

*   map source = iwad

*The following designates the end of the group.
